Hi All

=20

Finally I am able to connect after powering down for a few =
hours=E2=80=A6 Apparently, my ISP is tracing the activities, if they =
sense a sudden surge in download bandwidth, they block the mac address.

=20

So, I am enforcing traffic shaper now to prevent people from downloading =
to the max. I thought it is supposed to be my right to use up to the max =
bandwidth purchased. Oh well. Mac spoofing also cannot work around this =
issue.

Thank you for all your information, I don=E2=80=99t feel alone now since =
I know most cable company enforce the same rules about sharing your =
internet.

Thank you

You may wish to try powering down the cable modem before changing the =
device which is attached to it -- even when the MAC is the same.

In the past, I've encountered cable modems which required this.

As the cable modem always sits between the cable coming out of the wall =
and
whatever is connected to the other end (PC or m0n0wall), it should make =
no
difference. As far as I understood, it works perfectly with a PC =
connected
to the modem, but not with the m0n0wall (which is basically a PC as =
well,
just not running Windows/Linux/MacOS but FreeBSD).

It could be a rare hardware issue, where the modem's NIC doesn't play =
well
with the m0n0wall's NIC. I've seen such an issue which could be remedied =
by
first turning on the m0n0wall and then turning on the modem. If the =
modem
was turned on with the router connected but turned off, it would hang =
until
power-cycled.

Many years ago one ISP also sold packages which allowed connection of =
one
single PC only. It was assumed that this might have been enforced by
checking the sequence number of packets. Which is probably a most =
ridiculous
idea nowadays, with boxes rewriting sequence numbers.

Best regards, Klaus
